if anyone finding this topic is interested how to quickly test your fkeys, I used this autohotkey script:

F2::Send {F3}
F3::Send I sent F3
F4::Send I sent F4
F1::Send I sent F1
F3::Send I sent F3
F4::Send I sent F4
F1::Send I sent F1

Hi there,
I didn't play starcraft 2 for couple of months. Everything worked for me back then, and I didn't change a dime. Now I come back and
F3 doesn't work at all:
- Edit: F3 doesn't work anywhere on my windows system, I tried now, so it's not starcraft.
before edit: + Show Spoiler +
- (it's not the keyboard, I have tried some...)
- I don't remember installing any other programs that could run in the background, other than a few games that I don't run at the same time.
Any help appreciated. Perhaps simply: where I can set this windows hotkey, which is apparently coming from a Feature Update of Windows.(?)
Edit / some research:
- following windows update is supposed to create this issue, (but I couldn't fix it yet) https://www.800error.com/KB4467684-issue-Windows-Update-causes-Microsoft edit: this is just an example from 2018, it worked for me 2020..
- fix-working for someone, but this is from 2018... https://community.dynamics.com/nav/f/microsoft-dynamics-nav-forum/283205/f3-search-doesn-t-work-after-windows-update/876033 it worked for me in 2020, but doesn't now.
- I tried to uninstall my latest updates from 07/06/2020 and check every-time whether F3 worked , but the latest one doesn't let itself uninstall ...
- I also tried to uninstall my latest update: KB:4556799 via command prompt via WUSA, however it still doesn't do that "can't be found"

- (you can't re-bind it in the hotkey-menu, you can't rebind any combination with it , you can't use its set function when playing neither of course, which is setting and recalling the camera position)
- (all other F-keys work fine with the exact same setup)
